My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1543

And yet, Jared refused to let go of Nicole.

Meanwhile, Spencer and Samuel attempted to chase after her, but Sean stood in the way, blocking them. "Chill. Let her go. She must be tired. Let her go and get some rest."

There were one too many guests at the banquet, and as of now, Jared was the only one who could protect Nicole from being harassed. Therefore, Sean had allowed her go with him. There were only a few of them who were hesitant to let them go, and because of this, they could only agree.

Reluctant, Chloe watched as Jared dragged Nicole away. 'I can't be as stubborn as I've been before. This time around, I will bide my time and wait for an opportunity!"

The evening breeze was gentle, as Jared drove Nicole along the bridge over the river, passing the night-time scenery. The crisp air began to sober Nicole up, for she was slightly drunk before this.

"The air outside is certainly better and I really hate socializing." Nicole said, as she felt suffocated when she was at the banquet earlier.

"So, I've done my part and helped you in every way I could." Jared flashed her a smile as he drove.

"What did you do?" Nicole raised her eyebrows.

Nicole was really occupied with the banquet earlier; she was so focused on putting up a bold front that she did not have the time to think about anything else.

"Most of the people who came today are those who do follow the teachings passed down by their ancestors and will obey the orders of the Fire Crest bearer. I've asked Max to register them all and their names should've been sent to your email by now. As for those families who didn't attend, I've also asked him to make a mental note of them," Jared said.

'Wow, I really did not expect Jared to gather all of the information after the banquet,' she thought.

Nicole, with a playful smile on her face, then flicked her watch on and checked her email.

"You're amazingly helpful," Nicole said to him with a beaming smile in her eyes.

"It's my honor." Jared pursed his lips.

Nicole then happily browsed through the list of families that was given to her. She was familiar with some of the families, while there were also many that she did not know about. Everything was clear to her as she kept on scrolling.

"Max's managing abilities are excellent. These are all very helpful."

Though Nicole knew that she could have also collected these materials herself, the speed at which Max had done so was commendable.

"Whenever you need him, he is at your disposal," he said.

'Wow, even Max can be given as a gift." Nicole raised her eyebrows and smiled, thinking that Jared had become more pleasing to the eyes as of recent.

Under the influence of alcohol, Nicole leaned forward and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Your reward."

However, just as she was about to back off, Jared switched the autopilot on, grabbed the back of her head, and said, "That's not enough."
